You are not using MIDI when 'communicating' to the amp from Spider Edit/your computer. You can select a tone in Spider Edit and 'audition' it in your amp without loading it into a user patch location. But you cannot select patches in your amp's user memory locations through Spider Edit/your computer - however you could have all of these loaded in Spider Edit and use the tone audition feature to load them into the amp.

Quote "however you could have all of these loaded in Spider Edit and use the tone audition feature to load them into the amp" do you have an easy ecplanation on this?

The reason I am looking for selecting the tones via (midi) my laptop that Y have difficulties in managing the tones via the keys/pedal, sometimes many pushes by selecting and difficulties by reading the patch on de spider and the pedal.

With the laptop it is far more easier. I do the same with the Pod connected to the PC.

The question is still standinding, why is it not possible to patch via midi directly to the spider.

The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.
